netlanders,

Is it possible to connect a Mac II running A/UX 1.1 to a laser writer or
any other printer without using an extra co-processing card? The manual
proudly says, "buy a coprocessing card, if you want to use appletalk
network".  I do not care much about appletalk, as long as I can print
somewhere. I have connected my machine to other machines (Cyber, VAX,
Sun) which are connected to the printer. Is there any way one can
utilize these resources without using appletalk?
